For my nephew's 8th grade graduation, passing from junior high to high school, I wanted a special gift. I created this "money tree" personalized to him. Using a small terracotta pot, some printed graphics, and Mod Podge, I was able to customize the pot. Inside the pot sits a piece of foam, dried moss from my local craft store, and a battery-operated lighted branch. I folded the dollar bills in a fan shape and wrapped the bills around the branches with brown pipe cleaners. Today, three-weeks since his party, I asked him if he's spent the money... his response was the best answer an aunt could ever hear, "No, it's special." <3
